Thank you for choosing my recipe. My name is Tanzina Hossain Nira and I am a teacher at a renowned school in Chattogram. I hold an M.Sc in Chemistry and have a passion for cooking for my lovely children and family members. In addition to my profession as a teacher, I also run a small cake business and have a cooking YouTube channel called “Eat It By Taif Taha“. I learned how to cook from my respected mother and mother-in-law. The Beef Curry recipe that I shared on this page is my husband’s favorite and was also the first recipe I ever made. Thank you again.
